RELEASING CHILDREN FROM POVERTY IN JESUS' NAME

We're passionate about protecting and empowering every child left vulnerable by poverty. Our world-class one-to-one model means we can't do it without you.

Independent research shows that if you sponsor a child with Compassion, they are more likely to be employed and be a community leader when they grow up.
